Shadow Warrior

Lo Wang Gets A New Trailer, Pre-Orders Open

Melee in first-person games is usually hit or miss. Thankfully, our hands-on time with Flying Wild Hog's Shadow Warrior at E3 revealed a title that gets it so right. If you've been following the coverage and want to slice and dice your way through a demon horde, you'll be happy to know that pre-orders are open now.

The benefits differ across platforms, so publisher Devolver Digital has provided this handy guide for those hoping to get in on Shadow Warrior bonuses.

Pre-Order Bonus Steam includes:

15% off standard price

Zilla Enterprises Z45 katana in-game weapon (Steam)

75% off coupon for any current Devolver Digital game or Flying Wild Hog's 'Hard Reset'

I wish this would get a physical release, like the good ole' days, simply so they could produce a box that would say, "You've got Wang" the first time you open it. Use some of that "talking greeting card" technology for something entertaining!

This looks awesome. Super fun-looking, and much, MUCH improved over the dumb, offensive, lowbrow stuff from the original game. We'd be lucky if Gearbox's next Duke Nukem was as smart a reboot. Either way, the most important thing is that it has nothing to do with soldiers or modern military conflicts or any of that stuff. Great to see FPS' move away from that nonsense... now, if only we could get devs to move away from zombies too. Start trying to create smart, engaging enemies and cool, original creature designs more often.
